About the role
This is a senior commercial role with real influence over strategy and revenue. You’ll own the pipeline for our office and workplace fit‑out offering.

You’ll be across the market, tracking tenant movement, developer pipelines, new project announcements and competitor activity, and translating that intelligence into a disciplined pursuit strategy. You know when to pursue and when to walk away, and you understand the difference between winning work and winning the right work.

- 5+ years in business development or sales within commercial fit‑out, refurbishment, construction or property
- Proven track record of winning work and meeting or exceeding revenue targets
- Strong understanding of the design and construct fit‑out process from brief to handover
- Experience managing tender processes and coordinating multi‑discipline submissions
- An established network across commercial property and workplace sector
- Commercially sharp, able to qualify opportunities, read relationships, and close
- Excellent written and verbal communication with strong attention to detail
- A collaborative mindset, someone who thrives working as part of a team as much as they do working independently
